[PATCH] Check for beginning '/' in the mount path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



NFSv4 gladly accepts and mounts "hostname:path" instead of
"hostname:/path". This causes mount entry mistmatch between /etc/mtab
and /proc/mounts files. The former will have "hostname:path" but the
latter will have "hostname:/path". This causes umount not work at all.
